<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Printer version: Low-income rental moves into New Brighton <br /> <br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />Just as within a company there is a range of wages, within every community there should be a range of <br />housing types, Orfield said. That helps people stay closer to relatives and jobs. <br /> <br />But some newer suburbs aren't zoning enough low-income or rental, he said, effectively pricing people <br />out of those cities. <br /> <br />"As brand-new suburbs build no affordable housing, it means the older ones have to do more. They are <br />taking that obligation. When the newer ones don't build it, it creates congestion and splits up kids out of <br />school districts," he said. <br /> <br />New Brighton Mayor Steve Larson would like to see affordable housing spread among more of the <br />suburbs. <br /> <br />"We feel other people should take their share of rental and not put it all into certain communities," he <br />said. <br /> <br />Lakes Run is a 52-unit low-income apartment complex for families with an annual income between <br />$32,000 and $47,000. Rents would start at $860 a month for a two-bedroom unit. <br /> <br />Contact the writer at 612-673-7512 <br /> <br />or smccann@Startribune.com <br /> <br />(\;lCQPy.dght2QQ~ Star Tribune.
